Exported STL files from the segmentation has intersection/penetration

@Tekk_ya you might try a slightly different pathway to get “watertight” models.

  • export the segmentation to a label map
  • run the ModelMaker module with the “Joint Smoothing” operation enabled

what this will do is apply the same smoothing operation to matching vertices from the different segments so that no gaps are introduced. In the example below the yellow/green surfaces use the default and the red/blue use Joint Smoothing.

@lassoan I don’t see that the segmentation closed surface option exposes the same version of Joint Smoothing. The one in ModelMaker was specifically designed by @Lorensen to generate watertight models for 3D printing.

HTH,
